Corcel Exploration Inc. (CSE: CRCL) (OTCQB: CRLEF) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Corcel’) today announced the identification of significant historical occurrences of two United States-designated critical minerals, tungsten and graphite, at its 100%-owned Yuma King Project in Arizona, USA. This information has been compiled from historical mining data, drilling logs, geochemical sampling, and historical technical assessments conducted by prior operators and has not been verified by the Company.

Key Highlights

• High-grade tungsten occurrences across a 5 km² district with historic production and assays returning up to 19.15% WO₃, located within past-producing mines at the Three Musketeers district (see 43-101 Report dated December 1, 2024, available on Corcel’s website).

• Broad tungsten-in-soil anomalies identified from Corcel’s 2024 surface geochemical sampling extend beyond the Three Musketeers area, highlighting the broader district potential.

• Graphite mineralization, including flake graphite and graphene-bearing carbonaceous mudstone, was intersected in drilling between 2011 and 2016, with a reported interval up to 150 metres thick and a 25-metre zone containing high carbon content with mineralogy confirmed by Raman spectroscopy (see 43-101 Report dated December 1, 2024, available on Corcel’s website).

• Tungsten and graphite are listed as critical minerals by the U.S. government due to strategic applications in manufacturing, energy technologies, and defense systems, and the U.S. currently relies on foreign sources for both.

• No modern exploration has been conducted to evaluate resource size or grade continuity which have not been evaluated with modern exploration methods and may warrant follow-up assessment.

‘The available historical records indicate that the Yuma King Project contains multiple areas where tungsten and graphite mineralization were documented and, in some cases, mined on a small scale,’ commented Jon Ward, CEO of Corcel Exploration. ‘Our objective is to review this historical data to determine whether these targets merit systematic follow-up alongside our copper-gold exploration plans.’

Historical Tungsten Occurrences

Tungsten was historically mined from several prospects within the Yuma King Project area, primarily at the Three Musketeers, Jewel Anne, Pee Wee, Ace, and Trioni claims. Historical reports document two tabular mineralized bodies at the Three Musketeers Mine, although their full extent was not delineated due to limited underground development. Production was intermittent from the early 1950s through the 1970s. Tungsten occurs predominantly as scheelite within quartz veins, greisen-altered zones, and thrust faults and is largely related to Late Cretaceous to Early Tertiary intrusive events (see 43-101 Report dated December 1, 2024, available on Corcel’s website).

Sampling and surface mapping indicate that tungsten-bearing structures are present over an area of approximately 5 sq km, with localized high-grade pods and lenses. Soil sampling completed by Corcel highlights the presence of tungsten anomalies associated with the area hosting the historical mines.

In addition, soil sampling indicates that Yuma King Mine area contains tungsten anomalies. This commodity has not been a focus of exploration in this area so the geological context of these anomalies is not yet known.

The Company’s QP has not verified the historical data due to the absence of original records and therefore such data should not be relied upon.

Graphite and Graphene Mineralization

Graphite and graphene mineralization at the Yellowbird deposit on the Yuma King Project was first identified in 2011 by a drill campaign by VANE while exploring a porphyry copper target (See 43-101). The graphite is contained in a relatively flat-lying, dark gray, carbonaceous, phyllitic meta-mudstone body about 150 m thick, intercepted in drill hole AV-2. A 25-metre interval within the middle of the 150-metre section consists of approximately 89% carbonaceous mudstone. Follow-up geochemical sampling and Raman spectrometry in 2015 confirmed graphite with significant graphene (see 43-101 Report dated December 1, 2024, available on Corcel’s website).

In 2016, Cash Capital completed a four-hole, 1,220-metre drill program accompanied by geologic core logging, continued lab geochemical assays, mineralogic studies, and reconnaissance field sampling, which demonstrated that the mineralized horizon extends southward and identified additional graphite-bearing zones within the Yellowbird black shale formation. Corcel is working to obtain technical data from this program – at present, the precise drill hole locations and other data are not available (see 43-101 Report dated December 1, 2024, available on Corcel’s website).

The graphite mineralization is interpreted to be related to thrust-related deformation and metamorphism during the early Laramide orogeny.

US Critical Minerals

The United States is currently entirely reliant on imports for both tungsten and graphite, which are classified as critical minerals by the U.S. Department of the Interior (U.S. Geological Survey, USGS, 2024 Critical Minerals List) and recognized as essential to national defense by the U.S. Department of War (U.S. Army, Defense Logistics Agency Strategic Materials). Tungsten is used in electronics, aerospace components, defense systems, while graphite is the primary material in lithium-ion battery anodes and plays a central role in electrification and energy storage technologies.

Evaluation of Critical Minerals at Yuma King

The Company will incorporate the historical tungsten and graphite datasets into the broader geological model for the Yuma King Project. This work is being undertaken in parallel with the copper-gold exploration strategy to assess whether these critical mineral systems warrant follow-up evaluation as potential complementary targets.

Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as ‘plans’, ‘expects’, ‘is expected’, ‘budget’, ‘scheduled’, ‘estimates’, ‘continues’, ‘forecasts’, ‘projects’, ‘predicts’, ‘intends’, ‘anticipates’ or ‘believes’, or variations of, or the negatives of, such words and phrases, or state that certain actions, events or results ‘may’, ‘could’, ‘would’, ‘should’, ‘might’ or ‘will’ be taken, occur or be achieved. This information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. This forward-looking information is based on management’s opinions, estimates and assumptions that, while considered by NorthStar to be appropriate and reasonable as of the date of this press release, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward- looking information.

Many of these risks are beyond the Company’s control.

If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the opinions, estimates or assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results or future events might vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Although the Company has attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, there may be other risk factors not presently known to the Company or that the Company presently believes are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information, which speaks only as of the date made.
